Tree Removal in Holliston, MA

We provide tree removal services when a tree is dead, leaning toward a structure, storm-damaged, or in the way of new construction or solar installation. Holliston is known for its tall, mature trees. Many properties have northern red oaks, red maples, and eastern white pines that reach 50 feet or more and need crane-assisted tree removal for safe takedown.

Around Lake Winthrop and Braggville, we often see emerald ash borer damage on ash trees and storm-stressed white pines that need close inspection. Some Holliston removals also require a town permit, and we’ll let you know if that applies before scheduling work. If you’re not sure whether a tree needs to come down, ask for a hazardous tree evaluation first.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Holliston’s older neighborhoods are full of older hardwoods that need structural pruning to stay healthy. Our tree pruning in Holliston, MA, includes shaping cuts, crown thinning to reduce storm load on tall white pines, deadwooding, lake-view clearance around Lake Winthrop, and utility-line clearance along Route 16 and Washington Street.

Tree trimming also takes a careful touch along the Upper Charles Rail Trail corridor, where the canopy is dense and the terrain rolls. A Massachusetts Certified Arborist on our team will assess each tree and recommend only what it needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a tree removal permit in Holliston, MA?
In some cases, yes. Holliston requires permits for certain tree removals, such as public shade trees, work near wetlands and conservation areas, and trees along designated scenic roads. Check with the Town of Holliston or call us first, and we can help you understand what’s needed before any work begins.
How much does tree removal cost in Holliston?
Every estimate is different. Tree removal cost in Holliston depends on the size and species of the tree, its location on your property, accessibility for our equipment, the complexity of the takedown, any permit requirements, and whether stump grinding or debris haul-away is included. Your initial consultation with Foppema Tree Care is free.
What trees are common in Holliston?
Holliston’s tree canopy is dominated by established hardwoods and conifers, including northern red oak, red maple, sugar maple, eastern white pine, and white ash. Many of these trees are 50 years old or older and reach 50 to 60 feet in height. Regular pruning helps them stay healthy, and a Massachusetts Certified Arborist on our team can recommend a care plan based on your property.
What tree diseases should Holliston homeowners watch for?
Holliston homeowners should watch for emerald ash borer (EAB), which kills ash trees in 2 to 5 years, hemlock woolly adelgid on hemlocks, and beech leaf disease on beeches. D-shaped exit holes in ash bark, sudden canopy thinning, white wool at the base of hemlock needles, and banded leaves on beech are signs to call us right away. Catching these issues early gives us the best chance to save the tree or slow the spread.
What should I do if a tree falls on my house during a storm?
First, get everyone safely away from the affected area and call 911 if anyone is hurt or trapped. If power lines are involved, contact the utility company before approaching. Then call us at (774) 280-1546, and we’ll bring the right crew and equipment to remove the tree safely once the area is clear.
